1.2 8v?

[Clio90]

Hi guys new to this. I have just bought a 1.2 clio authentique. I heard you also get these in 8v? How do i tell the difference? Thanks for any help.

My 1.2 16v has 16v on its bullets. I may be wrong but I think the 1.2 8v just has 1.2 on its bullets.

Count the valves

Bullets?

The side strips on the doors will say 1.2

I'm sure all Authentiques are 8v

Ah right ok, thanks guys. Always had fiesta's so new to the clio club :smile:. Is there anything very problematic with these 1.2 clio's?

 

[fairm010]

Yeah, they're slow as s**t

 

[Clio90]

Haha i knew, must be something to do to make it a bit more nippy tho :smile:

Stick a KTEC panel filter in. Thats one of my first things to do after all the cosmetics I seem to be working on currently.

Sounds nice. First thing i need to do is get alloys as its on steel wheels with trims. And change the speed sensor

Think @fairm010 is selling his alloys.

 

[fairm010]

I'd like to if there were some others ones lined up. 17" alloys probably wouldn't fit your car as standard though.

Am looking to get 15s as got plans to lower it
